2. PRECAUTIONS
2-1 Cautions When Installing.
This game is designed for indoor use only. The game must not be installed outdoors or
under the following conditions:-
a. In areas directly exposed to sunlight, high humidity, direct water contact, dust,
high heat or extreme cold.
b. In locations that would present an obstacle in the case of an emergency, i.e. near
fire equipment or emergency exits.
c. On an unstable surface or subject to floor vibration.
2-2 Cautions when Handling.
a. AC power must always be turned OFF, and the game disconnected, before
replacing any parts or connecting/disconnecting connectors.
b. When unplugging the game from an electrical outlet, always grasp the plug, not
the mains lead.
c. The machine must be earthed with a securely connected earthed plug.
d. Care must be taken at all times to avoid electric shock when inspecting or
adjusting the game.
2-3 Cautions when Transporting.

b. Always return the levellers to the UP position before moving the machine.
c. Take care not to rope any moulded (plastic) parts when transporting.
2-4 Cautions when handling the PCB.
a. Never test the PCB for continuity with a multimeter or similar device. The PCB
contains sensitive devices which could be damaged or even destroyed by the
